Favorite TV Moments: The Golden Girls Edition

That’s right, I love the Golden Girls and I don’t care who knows it. I go to sleep watching them, I randomly quote them (and frequently get strange looks) and I often day dream about their awful fashion decisions. Nevertheless, I think they are wonderful.

For those of your who don’t know the girls, here is a best of clip:


As a side note, a lot of times, Lauren and I feel like this…


One year for Christmas my Mom bought me every season on DVD…best Christmas EVER!

Pink Slip Summer Mix

We are such nice people that we don't just want you to be well versed in dresses, we want you to be well versed in culture! This means anything from make-up to movies to products and music, duh.

Here is a fun summer time mix of the music that we are listening to! You can download this and enjoy it!

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE PINK SLIP SUMMER MIX CD

Track Listing For YOU!:

Animal Collective - My Girls
This song is crazy, but in a good and kind of psychadelic way. Love it.




The Noisettes - Never Forget You

This fills the void for the lack of 1960 girl pop groups in the world today.



God Help The Girl - God Help The Girl
Besides being kind of funny, it's good for any girl who likes to kick some ass (p.s. try on a regular basis not to use too many expletives in our every day life but this one was required... just sayin')



Madonna - Material Girl Vs. Hey Mickey

Recently we decided we like these kinds of mash-ups. Listen to how fun this song turned out!



Camera Obscura - French Navy

We just realized the first half of this cd is chick heavy, and the second half is dude heavy.


Those Dancing Days - Action Man


Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel
We are missing Michael SO MUCH. This is one of the best songs to listen to in the summer. Does anyone remember how great this video was? YOUTUBE IT!


Tommy Roe - Dizzy
It just seem to fit? We like it - summerish, old, fun, tambourines, bike riding kind of music.

Devendra Banhart - Carmencita
We know you guys are going back to school soon so maybe this will help you brush up on your Spanish.


The Fiery Furnaces - I'm Going Away
Scene Points.


Islands - No You Don't!
More Scene Points!



Yo La Tengo - Periodically Double Or Triple

This is one of our favorite bands! Check out all of their musica.


Bright Eyes - Devil Town (cover)
Because we know it's not a mix if Bright Eyes isn't involved and this song is great for those of you who are leaving for college and can't wait for new surroundings and if you think your friends are vampires.

Art Attack: Stella McCartney's Fall Ads



How amazing is this? Stella McCartney, one of our favorites, has gone ahead and used Bambi as her cute little muse! Check out the great juxtaposition between the forest and the animated animals. It's nice, cute, and whimsy and Pink Slip LOVES it!

Products We Love: Vera Wang perfume

We have always loved Vera Wang perfume. It is really light and classic. I have been wearing it for years - actually longer than I care to remember, and I still get a lot of compliments on it.





I have always been partial to the classic scent, but have recently been turned on to the Princess scent.

I was actually searching around, and came to realize the Vera Wang Princess perfume has one of the best web sites ever!

From the homepage you click "begin your reign". From there you are virtual princess and given the chore pick out your outfit, jewelry and date for your party. It’s so cute, and I spent way too much time going through it....I just couldn’t stop myself!

Click here to check it out...
